Definitions

  • the present disclosure generally relates to aircraft stowage bin assemblies.
  • Transportation vehicles such as airplanes, for example, typically include overhead storage compartments to allow passengers to store luggage, equipment, and other types of payload.
  • the overhead storage compartments comprise overhead stowage bin assemblies.
  • the overhead stowage bin assemblies are typically arranged to be above the passenger seats located in an aircraft's cabin.
  • overhead stowage bin assemblies are often positioned at outboard ends of the left and right sides of the fuselage above the outboard cabin seats, and at the center of the fuselage, above the center cabin seats.
  • the stowage bin assemblies generally include bin buckets that are pivotably coupled to stowage bin doors.
  • the stowage bin doors are configured to pivotably move between open and closed positions.
  • the stowage bin doors pivotably rotate relative to respective pivot axes that are substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the fuselage, i.e., an axis that runs parallel to the forward-aft direction of the fuselage.
  • the pivotable movement of the stowage bin doors is facilitated through hinges and various latch mechanisms.
  • hinges typically protrude outwardly from a wall of the bin bucket or other attaching structure to which they are attached.
  • hinges or similar structures about which the stowage bin door pivotably rotates protrude outwardly from an inside surface of a sidewall of the bin bucket. Such hinges, however, reduce compactness of the stowage bin assemblies, reduce storage capacity of the bin buckets, and contribute to increased weight of the stowage bin assemblies.

  • Figure 12 is a side view of the integrated stowage bin assembly of
  • Figure 13 is a side perspective, partially exploded view of the integrated stowage bin assembly of Figure 1 1 .
  • a stowage bin assembly can be summarized as including a bin bucket assembly including a bin bucket having at least one sidewall, the at least one sidewall including a notch and the at least one sidewall having an interior surface; and at least one hinge assembly.
  • the at least one hinge assembly can include a housing which is received in the notch, the housing having an interior surface, wherein the interior surface of the housing is substantially flush with the interior surface of the at least one sidewall when the housing of the at least one hinge assembly is received in the notch.
  • the stowage bin assembly also includes a stowage bin door pivotably coupled to the bin bucket assembly via the at least one hinge assembly, the stowage bin door moveable between an open position and a closed position.
  • a hinge assembly that pivotably couples a stowage bin door to a stowage bin bucket assembly can be summarized as including a housing, a housing cover plate that couples to the housing, an interior cavity disposed between the housing and the housing cover, and a self-opening mechanism disposed in the interior cavity.
  • the self- opening mechanism can be configured to counteract a gravitational torque applied by the stowage bin door when the stowage bin door moves between an open position and a closed position.
  • Figures 1 through 10 illustrate an integrated stowage bin assembly 10, according to one example embodiment.
  • the integrated stowage bin assembly 10 includes a bin bucket assembly 12 and a pair of hinge assemblies 14a, 14b.
  • the bin bucket assembly 12 is hingedly coupled to a stowage bin door 13 via the hinge assemblies 14a, 14b.
  • Figure 1 illustrates the integrated stowage bin assembly 10 having one stowage bin door 13, with another adjacent stowage bin door 13 removed for clarity of illustration and description.

  • the bin bucket assembly 12 includes sidewalls 15, upper wall 16, lower wall 17, rear wall 18, and a partition 19 that partitions the integrated stowage bin assembly 10. In some embodiments, however, the partition 19 can comprise, in lieu of, or in addition to, another sidewall of the bin bucket assembly 12.
  • an overall length of the integrated stowage assembly 10 may be less than an overall length of the illustrated integrated stowage bin assembly 10, such that the partition 19 is replaced with another sidewall 15.
  • one or more of the sidewalls 15 includes a notch 20 that is sized and shaped to receive the hinge assembly 14a.
  • Figure 3 illustrates the integrated stowage bin assembly 10 including a pair of notches 20 disposed in the sidewalls 15.
  • the notch 20 is sized and shaped in a manner such that the hinge assembly 14a is seated substantially flush with an interior surface of the sidewall 15, such that any protrusion of the hinge assembly 14a is reduced and/or minimized.
  • the hinge assembly 14b is coupled to the partition 19.

  • the housing 22 includes an interior surface 50 that substantially aligns with an interior surface 51 of the sidewall 15. In this manner, the hinge assembly 14a when seated in the notch 20 of the sidewall 15 provides a compact integrated stowage bin assembly 10 that increases storage capacity of the bin buckets, and contributes to reduced weight of the stowage bin assemblies.
  • the optional support plate 23 is relatively thin to minimize the protrusion of the integrated stowage bin assembly 10.
  • the optional support plate 23 includes a plurality of base apertures 53 that are disposed around a periphery of the optional support plate 23 and are sized and shaped to couple the hinge assembly 14a to the sidewall 15 via one or more plate fasteners 54.

  • the support plate 23 is optional.
  • the hinge assembly 14a may be directly coupled to the sidewall 15 via one or more fasteners.
  • the housing 22 includes a coupling flange 28 that fixedly couples the integrated stowage bin assembly 10 to the stowage bin door 13, such that the stowage bin door 13 can rotate between open and closed positions.
  • a housing cover plate 60 is sized and shaped to couple to the housing 22 around a periphery of the housing 22. When the housing 22 is coupled to the housing cover plate 60, such an arrangement defines an interior cavity within which certain components of the hinge assembly 14a are located.
  • FIG 7 illustrates the hinge assembly 14a with the housing cover plate 60 removed for the sake of clarity of description and illustration.
  • Figure 8 illustrates the hinge assembly 14a with the housing 22 and the housing cover plate 60 removed for the sake of clarity of description and illustration. Again, for the sake of clarity of description and illustration, only hinge assembly 14a is described in further detail.

  • the self-opening mechanism 24 is generally configured to provide a variable force that varies proportional to torque of the stowage bin door 13 that varies based, in part, on the variable gravitational torque of the stowage bin door 13.
  • the stowage bin door 13 takes non-linear, radial paths R1 , R2, respectively, as the stowage bin door 13 moves from and between the open and closed positions.
  • the gravitational torque applied by the stowage bin door 13 results in a lateral force component that is applied toward or away from a pivot axis 29 depending on whether the stowage bin door 13 is moving from a closed to an open position or vice versa.
  • a center of gravity of the stowage bin door 13 varies due to the non-linear, radial paths R1 , R2.

  • the spring 35 applies a compressive force, for example, as applied to the opening member 40.
  • a moment arm of the spring 35 changes proportionally to the gravitational torque applied by the stowage bin door 13, where the compressive forces applied by the spring 35 variably adjust as the opening aperture 41 allows the biasing device 31 to adjust its position to, in part, align with, and counteract the gravitational torque.
